lirik lagu son of a coal man – del reeves
pickin’ up pop bottles down by the pool room
sellin’ people kindlin’ wood.
carryin’ kerosene for my neighbor mrs. green
i can shovel coal real good.
friday night’s a comin’ i can hear daddy tellin’ me
go and have some fun in town
i’m the son of a coal minin’ man
and it hurt when the mine shut down.
daddy. momma.
i love you but oh, how i hate
to see all yer pride gone,
living in a welfare state.
everybody’s leaving, lookin’ for a new job
michigan or ohio
daddy, he ain’t got no trade
and besides, lord, he couldn’t go
coal dust flows in the blood of his veins
squirrel dogs roam in his mind
and daddy is stubborn
he won’t quit believin
someday they’ll reopen up the mines.
had a paper job but everybody moved
the ones that are left can’t pay
kindlin’ wood ain’t sellin’ too good
but it’s a way to kill the day.
everybody sits around watchin’ tv
for the joy and fun that it gives
they don’t get mad, just a little bit sad
when they see how the other half lives.
daddy. momma.
i love you but oh, how i hate
to see all yer pride gone,
livin’ in a welfare state.
daddy. oh, momma.
i think about you every day
gotta get a job
that’s why i’m a-goin’ away
goin’ up to pontiac
gotta go today.
